I believe the answer is:

legwork

(Other definitions for legwork that I've seen before include "Tasks that involve much travelling" , "Cyclist is propelled by this" , "Tiring and tedious gathering of basic information etc" , "basic industry" , "Hard graft" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
